Hey guys, sorry the update took so long, I'm trying to fit in all my ideas ands cram in a few of your ideas too :D I hope you guys like this chapter and how the story plays out.
Flick watches at the group around her made plans for the night. She knew what she had to do and it was weighing on her mind. The morning passed and the afternoon was half gone. Just a few more hours and night would fall and the plan would be set in motion. Tonight was the night. She stared down at Damon who was lying on his back, eyes closed. Yasmin has finished with him not long ago and for now, he could rest.
Suddenly the door is knocked down, letting in the light and causing half the vampires to jump back. Salette and Bonnie stood in the door way, Bonnie chanted something under her breath as Salette walked in, staring at the vampires that glared back at her, she peered down at an almost unconscious Damon, he was still wearing his ring. She looked back over at Bonnie, who had stopped chanting and nodded at her. 'Now.' She began chanting again, this time louder.
Flick grabbed Markus's hand and looked up at him. 'I remember her.' She whispered quickly.
'Salette' Markus answered.
'I hope you all remember me.' Salette hissed. 'I told you long ago that if you ever harmed him… I'd kill you all…' She looked over at Bonnie than back at the ten vampires she was about to end. 'I wasn't lying.'
Flick knew this was about to get messy and with that very thought in her head, the window around them all shattered, letting the light burn through. The group scattered, searching for the nearest darkness.
Salette was quick, she sped towards Damon. Elena slid past Bonnie and started dousing the vampires in vervain, covering a few of them. She managed to hit one of the biggest vampires and two of the women. The last bit she had, she aimed at the red head. As she tossed it towards her, a large male vampire with dark hair threw himself in front of her. The vervain hit him his face and arm, knocking him to his knees.
Stefan jumped on top of one of the female vampires, driving his stake through her heart.
'Dannie!' A female vampire hissed as she watched her friend die. She lunged on Stefan not bothering about the sun burning her skin, knocking the bag of stakes from his shoulder. They fell to the floor, each one rolling around the room. Stefan pushed her to the ground and jammed his knee into her throat. He nailed the stake to her heart, turning her skin turned a pale shade of blue.
Letting one of her arms slip under his knees and the other under his neck Salette lifted Damon from the ground and turned for the door, only to have one of the vampires slam into her, knocking Damon from her arms. Salette found her feet and looked up. An angry female vampire stared back at her, teeth showing in a dark snarl. She was holding one of the stakes Stefan had dropped.
Salette turned to the others. 'Bonnie, Elena, Get out now!' Her eyes were dark and extremely serious.
'What about Damon?!' Elena called.
'Don't worry about him, just go!' She wouldn't let anything happen to him but she had to get everyone out.
Elena nodded at Stefan before she ran from the house. She had no more vervain and headed to the car. Bonnie stood strong.
'I'm not leaving. I'll hold the protection spell for as long as I can.' She turned out the door and nodded at Caroline, who took off, taking Elena with her.
Salette checked Damon, who had landed in a pool of light. She was sure he'd be safe enough and turned back to the vampire who was lunging at her. Before she reached her though another of the vampires threw themselves on top of her, knocking her down.
Salette watched in shock as the other vampire wrestled her.
'What are you doing?!' The dark haired vampire hissed.
'Stop Kala!' The red headed vampire spat back.
'What are you talking about?'
'It's over! We never should have taken him! I never should have let you take him! This has been wrong from the start and I won't do it anymore!'
'You don't have too! I'll so it myself!'
'I won't let you do it. It's my fault you are who you are and I won't let you hurt anymore else.'
'You can't stop me Flick!' Kala pounces on her, holding a stake to her chest. 'I should have done this decades ago!' She hissed.
Flick knocked the stake from Kala's hand and jumps to her feet. 'I'm sorry Kala, I should never have turned you…' She jumped on top of her, Knocking Kala to the ground and before she knew it, Kala's skin was turning a pale blue. Flick let go of the stake she had lunged into her sisters chest.
Damon opened his eyes. He noticed the commotion around him and wondered if he was dreaming. He soon realized he wasn't. Looking up he noticed Salette crouching close to him, her eyes were fixated on Flick. 'Salette…' Damon chocked. She looked over at him quickly with wide eyes. He had never been so happy to see her. Her beautiful features made him dizzy but he had to snap out of it. 'Don't…' he coughed a bit. She was still staring at him, waiting for him to finish what he was saying. 'Don't kill the red head… or her boyfriend.'
Confusion covered her faced but she knew he must have a reason for that request. She nodded and watched as the red head staked the other vampire. Her eyes moved to another of the vampires. He was also fighting his own people. She raised her eyebrow. What the hell was going on?!
Stefan fought with another of the vampires. Throwing him into the sun, he forced him there while the vampire's skin was searing. When he began to weaken, Stefan shoved a stake into his chest, finishing him off. He pulled himself to his feet and felt the force of a fist slamming into his jaw. Stefan fell to the floor.
'You just killed Luke!' The large vampire growled. 'He was my best friend!' He kicked Stefan in the side repeatedly before a large, dark haired vampire grabbed him by the back of the neck and slammed his head into the wall.
'That's enough Ricky!'
The vampire snarled, shaking his head. 'What's your problem Markus? You with them or something?!' He looked over at Flick who was fighting with Kala then back at Markus. He scoffed. 'I guess you are.' He grabbed Markus by the hair and savagely bit into his throat.
While the two vampires fought it out, Stefan got to his feet and another two of the vampires tried to gang up on him. Stefan hid in the light, while the two male vampires stood back.
Salette joined the fight after flick killed Kala. She grabbed the last female vampire remaining from behind and snapped her neck before driving a stake into her heart. She then looked around, noticing the two male vampires fighting and Stefan taking on another two vampires at once. She leapt onto one of them, wrapping her legs around his neck and throwing him to the ground.
Stefan took on the other, rolling on the ground and fighting for control. Finally Stefan prevailed, pushing the stake through his heart.
The other vampire looked over at Stefan as he staked his friend. 'Carlyle!'
Salette took advantage of his distraction by shoving a stake through his chest.
Ricky pinned Markus to the ground, biting into the flesh just under his jaw. He sucked the blood from his veins, weakening Markus a little before he was kicked off. Markus attacked Ricky, throwing his whole weight into him and knocking them both onto the ground. The sun shining around them burnt them from time to time but neither one of them noticed as they fought hard against each other. Ricky grabbed one of the stakes from the ground and drove it through Markus's arm. Causing him to bellow in pain. He ripped the stake from his own arm and dived at Ricky, colliding with him and sending them both tumbling to the floor. Markus held the stake to Ricky's chest, while Ricky tried to hold it back. Markus felt Ricky slip and in a single moment the stake went through his body and pierced his heart.
Markus fell to the floor groaning. Ricky had almost drained him dry, making the pain in his arm amplify. All of his energy was gone for the moment, he could only pray Salette and her friends didn't turn on him next.
Salette knelt by Damon's side. 'Why don't you want us to kill them?'
Damon reached out for her, trying to touch her face, so Salette moved closer, taking his hand in hers. He swallowed weakly. 'They were gonna help me… They did help me…' His voice was weak and labored but Salette understood. She stood up and watched as Flick ran to her boyfriend's side. Stefan looked over at them, then back at Salette. She nodded at him and raised her hand to stop and he relaxed.
Bonnie sighed and walked over to Stefan sheepishly. 'Are we good?'
He nodded at her.
Salette knelt back down taking Damon's head gently in her hands. His body lay limp on the ground, but his hand moved towards her, reaching out to touch her skin. 'I've been looking everywhere for you…' She whispered.
He smiled back weakly. 'I knew you'd come for me.'
Stefan walked over to see his brother, kneeling down he sighed. 'You have no idea…' His voice crept away. He didn't even know how to finish his own sentence.
Damon forced a smile. 'Right back at ya.'
Flick sobbed from across the room which got Damon's attention. He lifted his head up and looked over. 'Are they alright?'
Salette looked over. 'I think the man is hurt…' She trailed off. Looking back at Damon she raised an eyebrow. 'They helped you?'
'Tonight, they were gonna break me out… But you showed up. They were the only ones keeping me alive. She helped make me more comfortable all the time.'
Salette nodded and headed over to the pair. Flick looked up, guarding her boyfriend defensively. Salette put her hands up, showing them she meant neither of them harm and Flick let her come close. 'Ricky bit him, sucked him dry.' She frowned. 'He's in a lot of pain…'
Salette looked down at the vampire laying on the ground. A gaping hole in his arm led her to believe he had been staked. 'Bonnie…' She called.
Bonnie walked over slowly and cautiously. 'What's wrong?'
'Do you know any healing spells?' Salette asked quickly.
'One, but I don't understand…'
'Damon wants us to help him. Please.'
Bonnie frowned but decided to help anyway. She put her hands on Markus's arm and chanted under her breath. Before anyone knew it, she had almost fully healed him. 'That's the best I can do.'
'That's enough, he can heal much quicker with that. Thank you.' Flick answered. She helped Markus up and they both walked towards Damon, Avoiding the light from the windows, though it was getting very dim now.
Damon gave Flick a smirk. 'They were too quick for you…' He joked with a weak chuckle.
Flick smiled. 'By a few hours, how inconvenient.' She chuckled back. 'It's good though, things worked out… And were both glad you're safe.' She looked over at the body of her sister and sighed. 'Everything that was done was necessary.'
Damon nodded. 'Thank you…'
'I will never make the same mistake again. I am forever in your debt.'
Stefan nodded at them and with one hand under his neck and the other under his knees Stefan picked Damon up off the ground and headed out the door.
Salette stayed behind to speak with the two. 'Thank you for taking care of him. If he can forgive you, so can I.'
Flick clutched Markus' hand in hers and smiled at Salette. 'Thank you. We will leave when the sun falls and torch the place before we go. But if ever you need us, we will come.'
Salette nodded with a small smile and headed out the door to meet Stefan.
Damon gripped Stefan's shirt in his hand. 'I was afraid you wouldn't come…'
'I admit I wasn't sure if you had run off or if something had happened…' Stefan started. 'But the moment Salette showed up and told us something must have happened… there was nothing that could stop me from coming to get you.'
Damon smirked. 'You can't live without me.'
Stefan smirked back. 'Apparently not. You're like a fungus, can't get rid of you.'
'Lovely.'
Stefan chuckled.
What did you all think? Next chapter I hope will be more relationship building between Salette and Damon and hopefully some brotherly love between the Salvatore boys before I wrap up the story. :) Let me know if you wanna see anything in particular happen and I might just put it in. :)
Don't forget to review so I know you're all still reading. :P
